Declaring increase in rent to UC

Hi, I'm currently in receipt of UC ( LCWRA group) and receive LHA in my UC for rent on a private rented house. About 18 months ago my rent increased by £150, but as I was already at the maximum LHA rate as it didn't cover the rent on my cheaper rate let alone the new one I didn't declare it ( or know I had to). As 18 months have gone am I likely to get sanctioned if it makes no difference to the amount they pay?

Hi,
You shouldn't get sanctioned for this. As you say, it won't affect your payments anyway.
